[@OKFNau] Opening state and local government budgetary data

[Paul Walsh]

Hi,

I’ve developed a platform for the storage and comparative analysis of budgetary data over time and across “entities”. Our project still needs work in many areas, but, it is currently working with municipal data in Israel.

I won’t reproduce all the details here, but you can read my post here for further information:

Or, fi you are a developer, you can see the code and documentation here:

I want to setup a proof of concept with Australian data. 

I am *not* interested in the Federal budget. I am interested in state and local government budgets.

I am finding it difficult to get detailed budget data. If anyone has any particular knowledge in this area, and would like to promote local and state government transparency in Australia, please contact me.

Best,

Paul Walsh
